‘We May Die Of Hunger’ – Ogun Fish Sellers Protest Over Rejection Of Old Naira Notes

Meanwhile, as the rejection of old Naira notes continues to cause chaos in the country, fish sellers in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital protested on Tuesday over the decision of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Naija News reports that the apex bank on Tuesday insisted that the old Naira notes ceased to be legal tender on February 10 deadline and released the guidelines for the deposit of old notes at any of its branches across the country from February 15 and 17.

This has affected small and medium-scale businesses across the country especially as the new notes are still scarce.

Lamenting over the situation, some market women in Ogun state cried out over their inability to purchase goods due to the enforcement of the cashless policy which they said has caused them a lot of hardships.

Addressing journalists, the traders said the rejection of the old naira notes by wholesalers at various cold rooms has turned them jobless.

One of the women identified as Rasheedat Oyebola who spoke on behalf of the fish sellers said many of his colleagues may die of hunger and poverty if the CBN still insists on its position on the old Naira notes.

She said: “We have tried all that we could but to no avail, that is why we have decided to go round today to explain our plights to Nigerians so the CBN governor can have mercy on us.

“Some of us here today are single parents and we have been struggling all our lives. If the money we have are refused as legal tender some of us may die of hunger and poverty.

“We appeal to everyone who can help us to as a matter of urgency come to our aid.”
